Vulnerability discussion

"Enables Google Chrome to act as a proxy between Google Cloud Print and legacy printers connected to the machine. If this setting is enabled or not configured, users can enable the cloud print proxy by authentication with their Google account. If this setting is disabled, users cannot enable the proxy, and the machine will not be allowed to share it's printers with Google Cloud Print. If this policy is left not set, this will be enabled but the user will be able to change it." - Google Chrome Administrators Policy List
